Mr.. Kultzer's Card,

To THE PUBLIc:-Over two years and =
half ago my ankle was badly broke by an
accident. l went to the hospital to get it
cured. I stayed there one year.. Two open
sores refused to heal, and l suffered great
pain. l was very lame, and could walk
only with the aid of a crutch and cane.
There was no feeling in the shin bone, and
| was told that it was dead, and would
have to be removed or cut off.
Last September I consulted DR.. Mac
Lehman, on his arrival in Butte. He made
a thorough examination, and said that he
could cure it without cutting, and that life
sid feeling would return to the bone; that
the sores would heal and the pain and
lameness disappear. He gave me a written
contract-that if he failed to cure me he
would return my money. Well. put my
self Immediately under his treatment. l
am glad 1 did, for now / am we'll. All pain
is gone. All lameness is gone. Life and
feeling came back into the dead bone. The
sores healed up quickly, and l I'm as we'll
as ever. l had no faith, and if the doctor
had not warranted a cure l would not
have treated with him, as l was told by
my friends that a man who advertised was
no good.
l reside at the Parrot Smelter. and am
well known by everybody there, all Of
whom will bear testimony to my Wonder
full cure. JOE KULrzER.

The Coercion Bill.

LONDON, April 14.-Sir George Trevelyn,
Unionist leader and formerly Chief Secre.
tary OF Ireland, has written a letter on the
Coercion bill which is tantamount to a
manifesto against that measure. He says
really the bill is chiefly aimed at the poll.
ticjans and editors opposed to the govern.
ment policy, and therefore that notorious
partisans like Mr.. Holmes, the
present Acknowledgement OF Ireland, and
Col. King Harman. the newly appointed
Parliamentary Secretary for Ireland are
unfit to administer the law if passed. "No
true LIBERAL he says, ought to entrust
such powers to them. When Lord Spencer
repeatedly refused to suppress the league
no word of remonstrance emanated from
the Liberals. 1t is inconceivable that the
Liberals can now support the measure en-
powering the executive to treat Irish poll
ticians as common criminals.
In 1888 5000 Orangemen, on one occa-
sion, disturbed a National League meeting,
their action leading to bloodshed, ~necessi-
tating the calling out of troops to preserve
peace. Colonel King-Harman and HOLMES
actively defended these u~nwarrantable
proceedings. There is not the slightest
doubt that in a recurrence of such action
an arrangement would be liable, under the
clause of the present bill, to their punish
ment as criminals, but the Government has
effectively provided against this contin-
gency by proposing to enact that the
House Of Lords may veto the proclama-
ton by the Lord-Lieutenant.

A Sensation.

INDIANAPOLIS. April 14.-Something of a
sensation was developed to-day in nnec
ton with frauds alledged to have been
committed at the last election. Under
ruling by Judge Gresham, the prosecution
were forced to transfer the cases to the
State Courts and the grand jury OF the
court has b. e n taking evidence in the
matter. The jury is drawn to serve six
months and consists of six members and is
equally divided politically. To-day the
republican members sent n letter
to the judge in which they
said there was ample eviden"e to
warrant the finding OF the indictments
in the election fraud cases, but that such
result was prevented by the refusal of the
other members Of the jury to take action.
In concluding the three members asked to
be excused from further service on the jury.
Judge Irwin. on receipt OF the letter, ex-
pressed considerable Indignation, and said
the facts developed something entirely new
in criminal Jurisprudence. He further said
that the letter would be FLED for consider
alton at the beginning Of the next term,
but took no other action.

Debate on the Measure-views of the

Debate on tho Messure-views Of the
Government
LONDON, April 12.-The House of Com
mons resumed it's sitting this afternoon.
After Speaker Peele had thanked the house
for it's indulgence during his illness Atter-
new General Holmes reopened the debate
on the Governments side in favor of the
Irish crimes act amendment bill. He con.
tended that the measure was q fair and
reasonable one and that none OF it's pro-
visions would interfere with constitutional
or public rights. The house should remem-
Der, Holmes argued, that society in Ire.
land was in a state of Reorganization
that crime went undetected and that peo-
pie seemed to sympathize with criminals
and thwarted attempts to OBJ
tain evidence in cases where ev-
idence was clear against the prisoners.
Juries refused to convict, SO that the sys.
TEN OF trial by jury had absolutely broken
down in Ireland. 1t was absurd to say
that crime in Ireland should 60 unpunished
rather than that such effectual means as
the changing Of venue should he taken to
secure the administration OF law. Holmes
hoped it would not be necessary if the bill
passed to have frequent recourse to change
OF venue. TDerisive Parnellite cheers.]
The Right Hon. Hugh c. Childers said
although he supported the amendment to
the bill, he admitted some OF the bills pro-
visions would not be Objectionable ii they
were made part of the general law for both
Ireland and England, but these features OF
the proposed law which the Government
especially intended to apply to Ireland were
unwarranted and would befraDIed to evoke
disorder instead OF remedying existing evils.
Why propose coercion when there was no
increase of crime shown in Ireland. Before
the last election at east 80 Conservative
members of Parliament declared against
apy further coercion.

Iron and Steel Workers.

P1rrsBuKG, April 14.-The Knights Of
Labor in this district have formed a Ma.
tional District Assembly OF Iron and Steel
Workers and an application will be made
next week to Mr.. Powderly for a charter.
The movement was inaugurated two
months ago and has met with general fav.
or. 1he new district will start out with
twenty local assemblies and a total mem
bership of over 1000. It will include every
class of skilled and unskilled labor en-
ployed in iron and steel works throughout
the country. Pitts burg is to be specially
favored in conducting the business of the
National District. 1t is expected that the
headquarters will be here. Officers will
consist of a master workman, grand
worthy foreman and an executive board
of seven. 1t is argued that as Pittsburg is
the strong hold OF iron works that:the affairs
OF the National District should be trans
acted here. A sub district will be located
in every iron center in the country, includ-
ing Chicago, New York, Cincinnati and st.
Louis.

Balfour's Explanation.

LONDON, April 1~4.-Balfour, Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland, intimated in the House
of Commons this afternoon that no salary
would be attached for the office OF Under
Secretary for Ireland, made for Colonel
King-Harman. The Government was
aware, Balfonr said, when they appointed
the incumbent, that the appointment would
be attacked. They had taken the highest
legal advice, and had been informed their
action was legal. In addition to this Bal.
four said the new office did not involve in
it's acceptance by Members of the House OF
Commons the necessity OF his resigning his
seat aud recontesting for reelection be-
cause the office was not a place of profit
and emolument under the crown.
Gladstone said the precedent required
Colonel King-Harman to vacate his seat
and seek a reelection. Gladstone said
that when he represented Oxford Univer.
sity he accepted for a ehort period q
place in the Government without salary,
and under legal advice vacated his seatand
stood for reelection.

Portrait Of Wendell Phillips.

His appearance physically was in all re-
spects in his favor. There was hardly a point
in his make up that one would desire to have
other than it was He had a most command
ing presence in whatever situation he was
placed. Tall, spare person, well proper
toned, head large and symmetrical, hair
abundant, not dark. The expression Of his
face c~harmingly beautiful, an eagle eye, very
penetrating under q high but not massive
brow. His nose was large, but well formed;
his mouth always so beautiful and pleasant
that it was really the most gratifying feature
Of all
A more graceful figure on the public plat
form was not to be found, and as a public
speaker he was entirely unsurpassed. His
style Of speaking was remarkably quiet and
conversational. He was never noisy, bolster
Gus and ranting. When speaking his voice
was subdued in tone, but distinct and musical,
charming to all listeners even when his SUBJ
ject was distasteful. as often the case in his
antislavery uttarences and temperance phil
ippics or other reformatory addresses where
he spoke the truth without restraint. His
speeches, always delivered without notes,
were made with very little gesticulation, and
yet the gentle swing Of his arms and the mo-
ton Of his hands played IN important part in
his oratory.-J. W. McLoud in The Current.

A meeting was held here this evening in
Masonic Temple to give expression on the
part of the American residents and So
journers at the National Capital to protest
against the passage of the coercion bill for
Ireland, now pending in the British Pariia-
ment The chairman called the meeting to
order and introduced Congressman Springer
to preside. After stating the purpose OF the
meeting. he said: 1.-THE contest now going
on in England, in reference to Ireland had
been taken by conquest and spoliation for
which the Vengeance of men and the just
judgment of heaven had been too long de-
layed.
Congressman Craen, read to the meeting
resolutions prepared by the committee ap-
pointed for the purpose, the closing lara
graph being as follows:
Resolved, That the enactment OF such
diaoblical laws would not alone be an out
rage on the Irish people but a crime against
the spirit Of liberty every where and that
the trainers and advocates of the coercion
bill should 60 down to posterity con
demned by humanity and branded with in
fanny. The resolution was adopted with
cheers and music. and the announcement
was made that they would be cabled TO
Gladstone and Parnell. A large number Of
letters of regret was read by the secretary.

Warnings In Dreams.

Many people still believe that they receive
rebuff the arguments for such q belief, but
We may confidently assert that any general
reliance on the confused and contradictory
indications Of dreams would involve the most
inconsistent vagariss Of conduct, wholly un-
worthy of q rational being. Our reason and
our dreams are often 50 hopelessly at vari-
ance that, to desert the former for the latter,
would be equivalent to r~elinquishing the
bright shining Of the sun in order to pursue q
treacheruus will-o'-the-wisp. The writer once
had occasion to engage passage for a long
sea voyage, and the only vessel available at
the desired time was q steamer which had
been q great favorite in her day, but was
then so old that doubts were entertained re-
garding her seaworthiness. In spite of warn
ings ON this point he engaged his berth, and
on that very night he had an intensely vivid
dream of shipwreck and drowning at sea.
Undeterred, however, he set sail without
serious misgivings and had a most agreeable
and prosperous voyage. In this case the
dream was evidently no supernatural warn
ing but rather the result of the effect pro-
duced upon the imagination by the hints
thrown out regarding the vessels supposed
trustworthy character. Presentiments of
all kinds are almost invariably groundless,
and when on rare occasions q presentiment IL
~si6d by TIA result, the explanation is the
very A-nspie and obvious one that in this in
stance our fears correctly forecasted the
future. We fear and we hope many things
more or less probable.-Au the Year Round.

send, but which certificates were subse-
| quently discovered to be fraudulent, the
Collectors signature having been forged.
| The blank forms used were genuine, and
supposed to be part OF the lot stnlen from
the Custom House in 1885. It is said that
the forgery was committed by a person
who knew that there was a break
of about 100 numbers in the series re-
corded at Port Townsend, and that he
purposely made use of the intervening
numbers. In view of the fact that the
collectors at San Francisco, Portland and
Astoria have been advised not to accept
as genuine the returned certificates bearing
any OF the numbers comprised within the
break in the series, the department does
not feel called on to take any action in the
case beyond advising the prosecution OF
the offenders, should they be discovered.
The Secretary OF the Interior upon con-
sideration of the request presented by cat
tie owners in Texas for the establishment
of a new cattle trail through the Chicka-
saw Territory have decided there is no law
that empowers the Interior department to
make an appropriation of such portion Of
the land OF the Chickasaw nation as would
be required for the establishment of such
cattle trail.
The Governor of the Chickasaw Nation
complains that cattle driven over the
present route are allowed to Craze on val
liable ranges along the trail at the expense
OF the nation. The Secretary in bis deci-
sion says, after refusing to grant the
change, il, however, such cattle are per
mitted to wander outside of the proper
limits Of the established cattle branch and
public highways and are allowed to tres
pass upon grazing VI other lands of the
Chickasaws and complaint OF such trespass

against trespassers and intruders in
